    What began as a value trip....became a WL CL Family Fiesta!

    I actually typed up my plan of attack for him and my parents and emailed it before the trip...in case anyone had anything they were dying to do that they wanted to do as a group. Did anyone read it? Probably not. This is why I had to discuss it nightly. He is my polar opposite...so while he...

    Also, I had to resist being the know it all at times. I had us not waiting for anything...so we walked right past a lot of interesting queue activities. When my brother opted to ride rides at times with 40 minute waits, sometimes this was actually better for his kids.

    What worked best with us is the planned together time. I would debrief the group every evening of what I planned to do the following morning. We'd decide what worked best as a group and what was best to split for. For example, dumbo and the mermaid ride had zero appeal for my brothers family...

    He told me that he didn't think much of the button at first but afterwards he said it really did make for a memorable birthday.

    I know it will be! And the GF is beautiful. I think it's wise to go where they are done refurbishing. They had only just begun at WL, I don't know how a pool closure would have affected us. While I personally preferred the quiet pool (the pool games are very loud and not relaxing. My only...

    June 12,2014 Departure Day My brother had a 12:30 ME pickup, so we took our time leaving. We lounged upstairs and let the girls play until around ten. From there, dad and I took the girls for a walk to Fort Wilderness. Destination...pony rides. These are $5 per ride, which is...

    It was time to stroll towards Adventureland, where I had a FP approaching for Jungle Cruise. We had to stop at the restroom on the way, and the stepsisters were out! Their line was closed, but we had fun watching them while we waited for everyone to regroup. My brother met up with us here...

    Last park day! Magic Kingdom, and it's Dad's birthday! I made sure to get him a button. We of course woke up bright and early for our last day. We collectively decided not to risk missing the opening ceremonies with the main boat. We hopped on the CR boat as soon as it arrived. This...

    The playground was right next to splash. Right to the right of the ride entrance, The splash area is actually at the exit of kali. And yes, definitely can make a meal. They replenished food a lot, and no one frowned on seconds. And the wine was great:)

    I know! I have pics of this same ride when he was 6 and he was not even visible because he hid the whole time. Teenagers, lol. Tough crowd.

    The girls were wet when they were hugging the Frozen sisters. Elsa asked Lucy if she had been hugging Olaf, lol. And the boys liked it too.

    June 10, 2014 The agenda for this morning was to head back to Animal Kingdom and finish up the last little bits. The park opened at 8 am this particular day, and it wasn't an EMH. Our first stop was Dinosaur, which, amusingly enough...Lucy thought she might want to ride. She saw the big...
